Very nice board. I'm going to make one around the same size, but using redwood strips, it's what is locally available. How thin are you going on your next board, and what layup are you thinking for strength and flex?

I'm doing 132x40 with channels and concave, on the same rocker, with ~10.5mm core, still in cedar.Glass will be 6 oz plus local reinforcements.I think I can get away with this because I want more flex, and the core shaping will hopefully keep it from being too much.The X factor is that the new core is a single layer without epoxy in the middle, so it will behave differently.We'll see, it's more alchemy than science ..

If I were using redwood, I might go thinner, especially from the straps outwards, and with maybe a maximum 8 to 10mm between straps, probably with more glass (6oz+4oz? 6+6?), since redwood can be more brittle than cedar. ? I don't know...Good luck!

This post inspired me. Finished my board this past weekend. Used western redwood becuase it was locally available and inexpensive. First time to do a strip board and very happy with the way it turned out. RR epoxy, 6oz fiberglass, pvc rails, 138cm x 42cm.
